Fear keeps us out of The Field
Relationships are an opportune place to experience and explore the mysteries of the soul and of love and therefore, of Life. Relationship can be a vessel in which the interplay of people’s souls in parenting, loving, living creates a special environment for the soul to be revealed, observed, lived everyday. One of the barriers to revealing the soul is that we fear (there is nothing to fear) what our partner, friend, sister will think if we reveal to such depths- especially the darkness, vitality, weirdness that is the soul. We must be vulnerable and create our own safety for Dialogue.
Nothing else matters but You
To me “if you do not come, these do not matter; if you come, these do not matter” suggests, nothing else matters but You. Of course everything matters but the most important matter is You or everything is inside You.
A Field for Dialogue
Out Beyond Ideas
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.

Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right,
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want and end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others and fall in.
I should be suspicious of what I want.

Today, like every other day, we woke up empty and frightened.
Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
